RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to apply fo, and execute a contract with Center for Tech and Civic Life, a nonprofit organization, to accept grant funding in the amount of $913,444, for the planning and administration of a safe and secure November election in Contra Costa County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% grant funded through the Center for Tech and Civic Life; no County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The Center for Tech and Civic Life, a nonprofit organization under IRC 501(c)(3), is providing grant funding to local election offices to help ensure they have the critical resources needed to safely serve every voter in 2020. Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder applied for and was awarded a grant for the 2020 election. The Clerk-Recorder will expend grant funds on costs related to drive-through voting, non-partisan voter education, poll worker recruitment funds, essential business continuity stipends, training expenses, temporary staffing and other public purposes listed in the grant application.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be able to provide additional voter services for the 2020 election.
